Hiiii! Democracy is hard, so I’m working to create daily action items to make it a little bit easier. I post these on my Instagram @socialworkispolitical with captions explaining why the actions are important. Let’s continue fighting fascism with small daily actions. 🫶🏼

If you're not in the DC area, you should be organizing where you are. But if you are in the DC area, I think you're going to want to come to the Treasury building today at 5pm. It will be newsworthy. www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

Rep. Mace is cosplaying as an ICE agent today
And of course Nancy Mace is out channeling her inner Kristi Noem with ICE. Can we start addressing her as “Waste of Space Mace?”

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

INTEL: I've now heard from 2 sources that Trump is preparing an EO to shut down the Department of Education. It would be blatantly illegal and unconstitutional. I'll believe it when I see it, and we'll fight it if it comes. Stay tuned.

#PeteHegseth is unfit to be the secretary of defense, or work in most workplaces frankly. Please call your senators (esp. Republican) to ask them to OPPOSE PETE HEGSETH for secretary of defense during a vote this evening. Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

What is the purpose of purchasing #Greenland and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the #GulfofAmerica?
My guess, as with most answers, is white supremacy.

I’ve been reading #DemocracyInRetrograde by @emilyinyourphone.bsky.social and wondering about Op-Eds… anyone ever written one? Are they effective? I have lots of thoughts for one… of course not in place of my normal advocacy but interested in people’s thoughts… #Democracy #OpEd
